John Mayer - Neon

When sky blue gets dark enough
To see the colors of the
city lights
A trail of ruby red and
diamond white
Hits her like a sunrise

She comes and goes and
comes and goes
Like no one can

Tonight she's out to lose herself
find a high on Peach tree street
From mixed drinks to
tech no beats it's always
Heavy into everything

She comes and goes and
comes and goes
Like no one can

She comes and goes and
no one knows
She's slipping through my hands
She's always buzzing just like
Neon neon
Neon neon
Who knows
how long how long how long
She can go before she burns away

I can't be her angel now
You know it's not my place to
hold her down
And it's hard for me to
take a stand
When I would take her anyway I can

She comes and she goes
Like no one can
She comes and she goes
She's slipping through my hands
She's always buzzing just like
Neon neon
Neon neon
Who knows
how long how long how long
She can go before she burns away

She comes and she goes
Like no one can
She comes and she goes
She's slipping through my hands
She's always buzzing just like
Neon neon
Neon neon
Who knows
how long how long how long
She can go before she burns away

존 메이어와 비슷한 이미지의 뮤지션들이 참 많은데,
그 뮤지션들 음악 다 들어봐도 내 귀에는 존 메이어의 음악이 제일 잘 맞는 것 같다.

그의 곡들 중에서 'Neon'을 가장 좋아하는데,
이 노래를 들을 때마다 앤드류 니콜 감독의 영화 '시몬'이 자꾸 떠올린다.
영화 속 시몬의 이미지랑 이 노래 이미지가 좀 비슷하게 느껴지는 것일까.
